Storied Live
The Reggae Session
Reggae is rooted in powerful stories of identity, resilience, faith, and liberation. In this Storied Live event, we explored the artists, producers, and cultural connections that helped shape reggae music and bring its message to audiences around the world.
Featured Clip
Bob Marley, Redemption Song, and Matisyahu
This segment explores the connections between Bob Marley, Jewish identity, and reggae’s enduring legacy. Through storytelling and live performance, we revisit Marley’s influence before launching into a powerful musical medley featuring “Redemption Song,” Matisyahu-inspired beatboxing, and “Chop ‘Em Down”—a crowd favorite from The Reggae Session.
Featured Clip
Dr. Dread, Israel Vibration, and a Legacy of Respect
What set Gary Himelfarb—better known as Dr. Dread—apart was his deep respect for the music and the artists he worked with. In this clip, we explore his relationship with Israel Vibration and the role he played in helping bring reggae’s message to new audiences. The story concludes with a live performance of “Friday Evening.”
